Recycle Mobile Phones For Cash

By Devin Frommer


Hankering after the latest technology is a conventional attitude of people at present. Older models become obsolete fast as newer models are developed and marketed. The average cellphone contract user will switch phones after 12, 18 or 24 months of usage. Old phones generally end up where most old stuff go. Some phones end up being recycled.

Recently, companies like Envirofone, Fonebank, MobilePhoneXchange, Money4urMobile, Mopay, Sell Old Mobile, Love2Recycle and Earth Mobile have done very well taking recycling to a different level. Since their establishment, these companies have been recycling thousands even millions of old, unused mobile phones. Buying up old phones from people has made it possible to protect the environment in different ways. Recycling phone parts would save a lot of energy that goes into manufacturing new parts. It also reduces the release of harmful greenhouse gasses into the atmosphere. The matter of waste management is also addressed. The millions of phones that are thrown away each year end up in landfills and take hundreds to thousands of years to be decomposed.

Together with old mobile phones, you can now also sell iPods and iPhones, whether in good working condition or not, these recycling companies. iPods are pretty pricey and owners would probably want some cash returns if theirs is no longer usable because of some thing or other. It could be a shortened battery life, the unit doesn't activate or the screen is cracked and iPod screens are pretty expensive to replace. Sending in your iPod or iPhone to recycling companies will fetch quite a good price if it is still functioning. However if the unit has some damage, you still get the money but of course not as much for an undamaged one.

As more people are becoming aware that we need to do something about our deteriorating environment, mobile phone recycling has become widespread. Recycling services have greatly benefitted from this. Because of the growth of technology in recent years, thousands of old phones have become available for recycling.

After sending your old mobile phone, iPod or iPhone to the recycling company of your choice, your payment will arrive in approximately one week. Simply go to a company's website and enter the make and model of your old piece. A standardized amount for a serviceable unit will appear along with a picture. You will then choose form several options that ask about the condition of the phone and how you would like to receive payment. You can choose cheque, bank transfer, store vouchers, or charity donation.

In just about every household you can find old cell phones just lying around and attracting dust. But useless it definitely is not because you can actually recycle that old phone for cash and do a favor for the environment and yourself. Hunt around your house or around houses of friends and relatives, and you will find scores of old phones just waiting to be recycled for cash.
